MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Ruselectronics, a Russian state-owned electronics company, said Thursday that it had developed a Russian-made doppler velocity and drift sensor system for civil helicopters to substitute foreign devices used in Russian equipment.
"In the framework of import substitution of critical elements of radioelectronic on-board equipment… a small-size helicopter doppler velocity and drift sensor combined with a height sensing device has been created," the statement on the company's website read.
In 2014, the European Union imposed a range of sanctions on Russia on the pretext of the conflict in Ukraine. In line with the restrictions, Russia was banned from acquiring European devices and technologies, which were mainly used in military equipment, and oil and gas extraction.
